JA++ Updates

Raz0r · August 26, 2015

It's been a while since a Windows build was available on the site, so I made one just then.

I can't guarantee XP support.

Let me know if you have any issues, with exact error messages and your OS + version

Keep getting a VM_Create on UI failed error when I attempt to launch the JA++ Client. The serverside version works fine though.

Operating System is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32-Bit.

I could be wrong, but I believe that error occurs when the EXE isn't set to 'Run as Administrator'.

Are you using OpenJK?

Okay, it's working now. Once I installed OpenJK it loaded without problems

Edit: The command "mini" isn't working, how do I minimize jka?

Circa · August 26, 2015

I thought the command was "minimize"?

Quite right you are @@Circa, however in the older versions of the JA++ Client "mini" was used to minimize the game. Anyways it worked and I can live with typing out the full word.

If you type "mini" and press tab, it'll finish it for you.

Raz0r · August 27, 2015

JA++ hasn't had a minimise command since 2013, you must have had an extremely old build, missing out on a lot of stuff ;o

The only reason I was using an older build of the client was because I was unable to get the newer ones to work. Should've used OpenJK from the beginning...

Also I am currently using the latest build and the "minimize" command still works

Circa · August 27, 2015

minimize is an OpenJK feature

UberGoat · August 28, 2015

Is there a changelog for the new binaries? Anything we should know about? Thanks

Raz0r · August 29, 2015

You could take a peek through the commit log, there's no summary yet.

Raz0r · September 13, 2015

Updated again

+ Widescreen ratio fix for HUD, crosshair etc

* Optionally disable SQL in builds, you'll need to compile yourself with no_sql=1 through scons

+ Added cg_queueCenterprint (default 0) as MotDs on servers were taking far too long to disappear.

Just made another build for Windows. Download it from here.

Here are some of the changes:

Has the admin messages been fixed?

Raz0r · December 17, 2015

Yep.

Cool, thanks man.

Raz0r · January 13, 2016

Just made another build for Windows. Download it from here.

Here are some of the changes:

+ Added japp_sortScoreStyle to sort score by kills, net, kdr, kpm, clientNum
* Normalised some more CGame font rendering - "server is changing maps" and "connection interrupted"
+ Added tab-stop to bad chars checked with USERINFO_VALIDATION_CONTROLCHARS
* Removed cheat-protection on d_saberAlwaysBoxTrace, d_saberBoxTraceSize, d_saberGhoul2Collision, d_saberInterpolate, g_allowNPC, g_saberRestrictForce
+ Added japp_showNextMap which will attempt to decipher mapcycles
+ Added chatbox key handlers for Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End to scroll to the first and last messages respectively

But most importantly there were some behind-the-scenes changes which means some very cool/useful plugins are coming soon - including killtrackers, new HUDs, entity interaction on servers - so make sure you grab this build

Raz0r · January 15, 2016

Had to make another fix for sh_lua.pk3 causing an error when joining games or starting servers.

Download sh_lua.pk3 here and drop it in japlus

Having an absolute blast Raz0r, thank you so much for creating and maintaining this mod.

About to get some first timers in to play a round of CTF this weekend and now with openjk and ja++ these days, the experience of playing Jedi Academy multi-player and moderating a server is simply a pleasure.

Much love to you.

Does a confident* Windows user feel like being a guinea pig for my latest experiments? (14.4 MB of badness)

Shared assets (for clients and servers):

sh_animations.pk3 - Animations
sh_lua.pk3 - JPLua core

Client assets:

cl_assets.pk3

Client binaries:

~~cl_bins_win32.pk3 - Windows 32 bit~~ BROKEN, see below post
cl_bins_win64.pk3 - Windows 64 bit (useless without 64 bit OpenJK which doesn't exist for Windows yet)
cl_bins_linux64.zip - Linux 64 bit (unzip)

Server binaries:

~~sv_bins_win32.pk3 - Windows 32 bit~~ BROKEN, see below post
sv_bins_win64.pk3 - Windows 64 bit (useless without 64 bit OpenJK which doesn't exist for Windows yet)
sv_bins_linux64.zip - Linux 64 bit (unzip)

Client JPLua plugins (optional):

cl_lua_chatstyle.pk3 - Custom chat styles
cl_lua_ignorebot.pk3 - Ignore bot chatter
cl_lua_japlusadmguns.pk3 - JA+ server admin gun commands
cl_lua_japluscompat.pk3 - JA+ server compatibility helper (command autocompletion etc)
cl_lua_killtracker.pk3 - Kill tracker
cl_lua_notify.pk3 - Desktop notifications (Linux only)

sv_lua_japluscompat.pk3 - JA+ compatibility helpers (adds amspectate)
sv_lua_modelscale.pk3
sv_lua_motd.pk3
sv_lua_spawnhealth.pk3

* won't complain when things don't work and can work things out for themselves

Best to install this to a fresh copy of JA running latest OpenJK.

Mostly what I'm looking for is if it works on your version of Windows and any issues you run into / steps to take. It should just work.

Linux users also welcome to try out the new desktop notifications :^)

Raz0r · January 6, 2018

Turns out the above Windows 32bit binaries didn't work because of a dependency on SJLJ exception handling.

Hopefully these should fix that:

Client binaries:

cl_bins_win32.pk3 - Windows 32 bit

Server binaries:

sv_bins_win32.pk3 - Windows 32 bit
